Mockingjay's Daughter (Hunger Games Fanfiction)

Chapter 29: Moment of Bliss

I open my before closed eyes; our lips still touching. In sync with one-another beautifully, it did feel blissful.

Almost...perfect.

We had been kissing for well over ten seconds now.

I quickly jerk my head away from Drakob's realising properly what we had both just done. His soft kiss and tender lips felt almost like a drug on me. But most importantly, where we have just kissed. Right here in the games!

"Why did we just do that?" I crackle with my head slumped down, hardly able to even meet his gaze beyond embarrased.

The fact that the whole of Panem and my parents had just seen me do this made it a whole lot worse. Eventhough I must admit that I did feel something. I really, truly and honestly felt a spark with Drakob White, the arrogant boy I hardly even knew back on 12, I only had ever thought of him as Teal's twin brother Tye's friend.

Not really ever much else...

Maybe I only felt something because of the way he acts or the way he looks? I want so much to not like him or to not feel anything for him since I know that Panem won't be happy or even my parents from me and Drakob kissing, but I do. Sadly I do feel something for him.

"I-" Drakob starts clutching his arm suprisingly acting quite nervous with me. The Drakob I know normally seems quite laid back and overall confidant in what he believes in. "-Think I like you Willow Mellark." It's like he has just read my mind again. I knew he felt the same for me deep, deep down which I have just found out that I do for him. "Wait. Let me re-phrase that. I do like you."

"I feel the same." I breathe out.

But why?"

"Well at first," He starts while sitting down on a tree branch bringing me down with him since he is still carrying me. I am on his lap now. "I thought you where just a pretty face, nothing really more at first since I didn't know you. Just the privileged daughter of the victors. You know?

Quite alot of boys in our school thought you where cute but Tye really has liked...well you could even say loved you for years. Since I can remember. He would of volunteered for me at the reaping just to protect you but like the escort Effie said, we cannot anymore. Tye wanted me to protect you and thats why I didn't kill you at first. For one of my closest friends. But recently, I've been feeling something more for you...as much as I had hated to admit it at first." I feel so touched by what he is saying. "Tye really will hate me now for me saying all of this, and for kissing you. Not that it matters, I'll be dead very soon."

"Don't be stupid!" I let out. "You are not going to die Drakob. Not here, not today."

"I am Willow, you are going to be the one that gets out." He lifts us up and continues walking again, still holding me and my stuff. "I'm not letting you die here."

"But look at my leg Drakob!" I point at the oozing green puss and the swollen purple blister that has travelled up my legs since I last glanced at it. "That must be infected and its travelling up my leg as we speak. Theres no more crime left to fix it! Face it, I'm a gonner."

"No. We just have to get to the cornucopia for the medicine to treat it and then you will be fine Willow. Your Dad had a similar thing wrong with his leg, remember? And he survived."

"He had to get his leg amputated." This shut him up for a minuite and I decide to speak up again. "Well, they had help from a sponser."

As if by magic a farmiliar tune plays. I look up to see a small parachute falling down from the sky and I bloom out my hands and it gracefully lands perfectly in my palms. I open the silver container to find a small bottle (no bigger than a little finger) with a small note attached saying;

"Drink this and then get to the cornucopia as quick as you can. It will help ease the pain and infection for a while. Sorry, this is all we were able to send.

We are counting on you, me and your Dad love and miss you Will, we are both so proud of our baby."

They must of sent this down without any of the game makers verifying what it says so Mom and Dad might get into alot of trouble...they must be planning to do something.

Hopefully not.

Drakob reads the note also while I quickly down the strange smelling brown substance in the small bottle tasting like puke. You would of thought, for such an advanced medical Panem has, they could make this taste alot better. I then stuff the note from my parents in my ripped camo trouser pocket practically destroyed from Cory, hoping the cameras did not see what it said, treasuring this with my heart.

It probably did see though. I just hope, prey, beg that my parents will be ok.

"Lets go." Drakob breaths out setting off into sprinting speed towards the mountians.

I clutch my hands, my arm firmly wrapped around his thin, sweaty neck.

I play back mine and Drakobs moment of pure bliss on loop in my head, thinking of the kiss and how it made me feel.

The infuriating pain on my leg is getting worse by every second.

Every heartbeat even.

...all I want is to be dead.
